RESUMEN
The taxonomic status of a yellow-coloured bacterial isolate from an oil-contaminated soil sample was determined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel isolate formed a distinct phyletic line within the genus Sphingobium. The generic assignment was confirmed by chemotaxonomic data, which revealed: a fatty acid profile that is characteristic of the genus Sphingobium consisting of straight-chain saturated and unsaturated as well as 2-OH fatty acids; a ubiquinone with ten isoprene units (Q-10) as the predominant respiratory quinone; a polar lipid pattern consisting of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and sphingoglycolipid, and spermidine as the major polyamine component. Genotypic and phenotypic data show that the new isolate merits classification as a representative of a novel species of the genus Sphingobium, for which the name Sphingobium olei sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMMIB HF-1T (=DSM 18999T=CCUG 54329T).

A bacterial isolate from a sample of oil-contaminated soil was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that this isolate constituted a distinct phyletic line within the genus Pseudoxanthomonas, displaying >3.7 % sequence divergence with respect to recognised Pseudoxanthomonas species. The genus assignment was confirmed by a chemotaxonomic analysis, which revealed the presence of a fatty acid profile characteristic of members of the genus Pseudoxanthomonas (straight-chain saturated, unsaturated and branched-chain fatty acids of the iso/anteiso type and 3-hydroxylated fatty acids) and the presence of a ubiquinone with eight isoprene units (Q-8) as the predominant respiratory quinone. The novel isolate was distinguishable from other members of the genus Pseudoxanthomonas on the basis of a combination of phenotypic properties. The genotypic and phenotypic data show that the strain represents a novel species of the genus Pseudoxanthomonas, for which the name Pseudoxanthomonas spadix sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMMIB AFH-5(T) (=DSM 18855(T)=CCUG 53828(T)).

The taxonomic status of a bacterium designated strain IMMIB SR-4(T) isolated from an oil-contaminated soil sample was characterized by using a polyphasic approach. Chemotaxonomic investigations revealed the presence of cell-wall chemotype IV, short-chain mycolic acids that co-migrated with those extracted from members of the genus Williamsia and that on pyrolysis GC produce C(16 : 0) and C(18 : 0) fatty acids, and dihydrogenated menaquinone with nine isoprene units as the predominant menaquinone. The generic assignment was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain IMMIB SR-4(T) formed a distinct phyletic line within the genus Williamsia, displaying sequence similarities of 95.5-98.1 % with the type strains of recognized Williamsia species. Strain IMMIB SR-4(T) was distinguished from the type strains of recognized species of the genus Williamsia based on a set of phenotypic features. The genotypic and phenotypic data indicated that strain IMMIB SR-4(T) represents a novel species of the genus Williamsia, for which the name Williamsia serinedens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMMIB SR-4(T) (=DSM 45037(T)=CCUG 53151(T)).
